The weather continues very favourable.for agricultural purposes, still It is generally anticipated that the Wheat crop will be short this year. The imports Once our last have been limited of every article except Flour, with nvhich we are moderately supplied. Wheat was very dull at to-day's market, but in consequence of the stocks held here at pre sent being light, our last quotations were obtained for the small busi. ness transacted. Barley was also scarce and difficult to sell, and Flour likewise met a slow consumption at Tuesday's prices. Oats and Oat 'rneal were more difficult to part with, and there was a disposition on the part of holders to accept lower terms. Beans, Malt and Peas, on a Rat enquiry, had a tendency to recede in value. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JuNc 1. Cotton was oaring rather more plentifully at this day's market, still 17e have no alteration to report in the ratas. The quantity parted with amounts to 3,500 bags.

NORTON and HASDWICKIt, at Lambeth -street Police-office, by police Constable 'George Seaman, 150 H. It appeared that the prisoner, who gave his name as John Owen, and, described himself as a jobbing cooper, residing at No. 5, Cottage. . 'twee, Granby-street, Waterloo-rood, entered the shop of Mr. Clayton, .. tailor Wellin g ton- terrace, and ma d e a lengthened ,com and draper, No. 11, munication relative to the murder of the young woman Grimueood, next door, on last Friday night; and, on being asked by Mr. Clayton - why he did not attend before the Coroner and Jury to com municate the circumstance, his reply was that he had a strong and deeeded objection to take an oath, which he would be obliged 'to do if I '.e went before the Coroner. Mr. Clayton (who is o ne of the J' arors sworn in the ease ) this on considering the declar ation of th e pr i g finer to be of import ance mysterious case, and *MS mannerbeing somewhat suspicious, gave directions to hia young riv; on his leaving the shop, to follow and watch his moverneets. re ne foung man did so, and the prisoner, in the midst of the hear y rain, 'proceeded. through various streets until he reached Rosera.:y.laree, where he purchased a sheet of paper in a sta tioner's shop, eald ttien entered a coffee-shop there. The young man who had follemed him at this time communicateil the circumstance to Seaman, to - between ie Pol:icema n, who happened to come up, and it was arranged , t.hem that the young man should enter the coffee.shop and watch raeprisoner's manoeuvres. He did so, and, finding that he had cvrit'.en a letter, and sealed and addressed it, he returned to the police meal, and through the window he could perceive the letter he had written was directed—" To either Mr. Grimwood or Mr. Best, 10, Wellington. terrace, Waterloo .road, Lambeth." Seaman insteettly entered the house and demanded the letter from him. The prisoner, after some hesitation, gave it up, and appearing much confused at the time, the ofEcer told him he should attend before a magistrate. Tb e letter was handed to the bench, and was as follows : " "June I, Half-past 7 .;:w0 o'clock i n t h e Afternoon. Gentlemen —A friend of mine this morning has made to me a dis.

The prisoner, e.Aer receivi ng a caution from Mr. Norton, said that he would tell tele whole truth of the matter as far as he knew, and added tha't some perrans might consider him insane; but this, he could aseeire the bench, was not the case, though he would admit that he was somewhat tEstressed in mind, owing to the conduct of two of his on F, d'.ildren. 1.-Tm then proceeded t o3ay that on Friclaynieht, or rather be, at,urday m eirning,bein g di sturbed in his mind, and unable to sleep, reot out of bed, and considering that a walk would do him some good AC dressed 'ased iiimself, got int o t h e street, and proceeded towards Waterloo -Bridge While passing along Wellington 'terrace he saw a man stanelinz at a door, with light pantaloons or drawees on, a clean shirt, w h.h the sleeves tucked up to the elbow; and some blood A 1 he approached the m an h e saw him place his hands gether, and r ais shalling them up, e xc l a i med, " Oh: oh: I have done the to deed; how I acquit myself of it?" And on his perceiving him (prisoner), he slipped inside, and shut the door softly. He (the prisoner) at the time thought it odd; and he, in consequence, went up to the door, placed his ear close to it for some time, but finding all perfectly still inside, he, after three or four minutes, proceeded as far as the bridge, and on his return again listened to the same door, when not the least noise was perceptible, P.e then let himself in by a string which he had fastened to a latch and went to bed, and asked his children if they had heard him go out, and they replied they had not. Mr. Norton--When did you first hear of the murder of the young woman ? Poisoner --I am not sure whether it was Sunday or Monday morning that I read about it, and I heard a great deal of talk about it. Zdr. Norton —Then did it not at once strike you that the man you had seen, as you described, with the blood on his hands was the mur. deter ?—Prisoner : No, Sir, not at first.

In rep a respectaly t 3 a question f rom the Magistrate the prisoner said there was 'ole tradesman in the neighbourhood who had known him for many Ye , .rs, and on being sent for he attended, and corroborated the prisone r a that s to his knowing and ae ic l e d him for many years i n the way of business, be always considered him a steady and sober man. Tfie prisoner here said he belonged to the Temperance Society, and was. a Baptist by profession. Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, who is employed by the relations of the unfortunate deceased to watch the proceedings before the inquest, hap pening to come into the office durin enquiry, exprssed it as s npinion that th e statement of Oweng was the of considerable e importance, a hi s it was in evidence before the Coroner that Hubbard had been at the door without his coat, and he therefore hoped the :Magistrates would desire that Owen, the pollceman, and the young man belonging to the shop of Mr. Clayton would attend before the Coroner at the adjourned inquest on Monday next.

John—North Cheshire Steuart, Robert—Haddington, &c. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY Last night, at Exeter-hall, one of the periodical Concerts of the above Society took place. The Hall on the occasion was crowded in every part with a most respectable auditory, a very great proportion of whom were of the softer sex. We were, indeed, informed, that between three and four thousand persons were present. The performance consisted of Haydn's inimitable Oratorio, the Creation, which was given entire, and executed throughout in a style highly creditable to the Society---in fact, we have not the opportunity of hearing any thing on so extensive and complete a scale, except at our provincial Musical Festivals. The band and chorus were composed in all of above five hundred performers, and amongst the former were so many professional gentlemen of known ta lent as to secure the comparatively well going of the mass. The ama teurs were, as usual in the chorusses, occasionally breaking in at those places the composer intended the ears of the audience to have a slight respite, but the mischief done in this way was trifling, and, on the whole, the Oratorio was effectively and accurately performed. The effect of " The Heavens are Telling," " Achieved is the Glorious Work," " Proclaim in your extended course," and the joyous chorus which terminates the Oratorio, " Praise the Lord," was magnificent. In the last chorus but one mentioned above, th , . audience heard the baton of the conductor rather too predominant, and, in our opinion, it would have gone better if it had not been heard at all. The accompa niments to the vocal solos were beautifully played, and the effect of the wind instruments in many parts was delicious. Miss Birch, Miss Woodyatt, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. H. Phillips, were the singers, and all acquitted themselves with that excellence for which their high rank in the musical profession was a sufficient guarantee. Miss Birch sang very beautifully the charming airs " With verdure clad," " On mighty pens," and the duett with Mr. Phillips, " Of stars the fairest." Miss Woodyatt's solos were " The marvellous work," and " 0 thou for whom I am," which she sung with great feeling. She also sang with Mr. Phillips the duett " Graceful consort," and in several concerted pieces. Mr. Phillips's most successful efforts were " Rolling with foaming bid. lows," and" Now heaven in fullest glory shone ;" and Mr. Hobbs sang with chasteness and feeling the recitatives and airs alloted to him. The orchestra was led with much ability by Mr. G. Perry. The oratorio commenced at seven o'clock, and the whole was concluded, and the hall cleared of company before ten. CONCERT. One of the best concerts given during the present season was Miss Cooper's, (her annual benefit) which took place, last evening, at the Hanover-square Rooms. Judging from the crowded, brilliant, and fashionable audience who filled the rooms, we should say that Miss Cooper holds a very high position in public estimation. Most assuredly this pa. tronage was well deserved, not only by the personal talents and acquire ments of the lady herself, but by the excellent programme which she presented for the evening's entertainment. To speak first of the fair beng:ficiare—her accomplishments, both as a vocalist and instrumental performer, are of the highest order; her voice is clear and melodious, pos. seising great compass, and is capable ofbeing modulated into a rich variety ofsweet and musical tones: nor is there wanting that perfect and easy execution so indispensable to the effective display of vocal talent. The facility with which Miss Cooper executed some most difficult movements really surprised us. This was particularly manifested in her singing of that delightful aria of Mozart's most beautiful II Don Giovanni, " Non mi die," which was given with a purity of style and richness of tone that merit the warmest encomium. In a quartetto from Rossini's Guillaume Tell, " In questa navicella," Miss Cooper (in conjunction with Miss Lanza, Signor Castellan, and Herr Kroft) proved that she could equally accomplish concerted pieces. The duet " Folg*dem freunde mit ver. tiaven," from that noble composition of the German school, Spohr's Faust, was (for the first time in this country) ably sung by Miss Cooper and Herr Kroff, and was much applauded. Another excellent piece, a terzetto, " 0 dolce cam istante." (Cimarosa) was finely given by Miss Cooper, Miss Lanza, and Mr. Wilson. This reminds us of Mr. Wilson's " My Boyhood's Home," from Rooke's delightful English Amilie ; it is a charming little ballad, and is excellently sung by Wilson. It was well matched by Miss Cooper's " Happy Land" (Rimbault), and the best things of the whole. A grand duet " L'ltalie et L'lrlande," flute and harp, Herr, Ernst, and Mr. F. Chatterton, was, perhaps, the best performance on these pleasing instruments we ever heard : it was rapturously applauded. The instru mental portions of the entertainment were indeed unusually excellent. Not the least admirable was Miss Cooper's performance on the piano forte ; while Lindley, on the violoncello, Barrett, on 'the oboe, arid Baur. nam on the bassoon, played on their respective instruments in most masterly style. We must not forget some comic duets between Miss Cooper and De Begnis, which were encored —nor an Improvisazione by Signor Pistrueci, which excited great admiration and amusement. L _ esterday morning tne greatest excitement prevailed in Clare -market and its neighbourhood, in consequence of the circulation of a report that the mangled remains of a human being had been disco vered in a narrow passage leading from Clare street into Denzel-street. At nine o'clock in the morning more thau two hundred persons had col lected in Denzel-street, and thelobject of curiosity lay by the side of the curb-stone. Its appearance greatly resembled the trunk of a human being, the head being severed, and within the inclosure of the ribs were perceptible the heart, liver, &c, Information was immediately forwarded to Bow-stret Police.office, and proper persons sent to investigate the matter. The result was that the cause of such universal horror was nothing more than the body of a sturgeon. This was confirmed by Mr. Ingram, a respectable fishmonger of Clare-street; but even this as surance was insufficient to remove the idea which seemed fixed in the minds of the bystanders, that it was a portion of a human being who had been foully murdered. By twelve o'clock the crowd had increased to such a degree as to render the street completely impassable, and many came from distant parts of the metropolis to obtain a sight of the sup_ posed human fragment. On the repeated assurances of some medical gentlemen residing in the neighbourhood, however, the incredulous mul titude began to disperse--a movement which was greatly assisted by a verylhwy shower of r a i n , which commenced about thre e o ' c l ock, A THE SUN, LONDON, S COURT CIRCULAR. Dispatches were sent off yesterday from the Colonial-office for the Earl of Durham, Governor of the Canadas. Viscount Melbourne had an audience yesterday of the Queen.

To those who prefer sober, quiet enjoyment, to noise, excitement, and labour, the Oaks holds out more attraction than its predeces sor, the Derby. Its deficiency, if such it can be called, is only i n the number of horses brought into competition. This we take to be one of its chief recommendations. With a large field all appears confusion, and beyond the two or three immediately in front, it is impossible for the uninitiated to trace the progress of their respec tive fancies. The case is different with a field of moderate extent —the eye and the memory embrace all without difficulty, and the pleasure derived from the race is considerably enhanced. This is the reason why so many genteel families avoided the turmoil and dust of Wednesday, and came out" yesterday. That the inter vention of a day between the two great events of the week is a poli tic change was incontestibly proved by the superiority of the com pany present yesterday, as well in number as in quality, and the effect is not a little heightened by the facts that the race itself has never taken much with the public, and that ita attractions, such as they were, were lessened by the secession, a thy or two before its decision, of nearly all the principal favourites, viz., Ninny, Vesper tine, Barcarolle, Lamaca, and Glenara. The Grand Stand was fashionably attended, and we hear that the receipts altogether have quite answered:the expectations of the Committee. The refresh ment rooms were patronised to an extent we never saw equalled, a proof not only that the stand itself is every year becoming a better property, but that " a good table, well laid out," can never fail of succeeding. Mr. Turner is entitled to great credit for his purveyor ship. Our time was so much taken up with the racing that we can only give the following names of fashionables : 'the Marquis of Exter, Marquis of Queensberry, Earl Mul grave, Earl Stradbroke, Earl of Albemarle, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Suffield, Earl of Uxbridge and family, Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord H. Bentinck, Baron De Tessier, General Gros venor, Sir G. Heathcote, Hon. G. Byng, Hon. C. Forester, lion. G.

After three or four vain attempts this numerous but moderate lot got away on excellent terms, Caroline Elvina leadingat her best pace, followed by Callisto, Mecca, Romania, Morella, Indus try, and Sister to Marvel next, the latter's jockey looking as if his place was not too much to his taste. Caroline continued the lead at her best pace to the turn, where, having performed her allotted task, she resigned. Callisto now took the lead, Romania following her, Mecca and Sister to M arve l l y i ng i ns id e h er near the ra i ls, and Industry just breaking from the ruck to take up the upper ground. About four hundred yards from home Sister to Marvel went to the front, looking so well that " Forth wins" resounded from all parts of the course ; her chance, however, was out at the distance. Industry was now lying wide of Callisto, but in going up she hung so upon the latter that their course was oblique, and Pavia, irritated, struck Scutt on the thigh with his w hip. I n d ustry caught Callisto at the Grand Stand, headed her at the end of it, and won cleverly, not easily, by a length ; Mecca, who was close to the lower rails, was not beaten above a neck from Callisto ; Sister to Marvel was about three lengths behind ; the next lot, consisting of Morella, Paraguay, Coquette filly, Romania, and Soldier's Con sort, were eight or ten lengths astern ; the next division was com posed of Wave, Brown Duchess, and Unique ; the last of Camelia, Sister to Glaucus, Caroline Elvina, and Sister to Venison, the lat ter playing the whipper-in.

LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1838. Lord WINCIIILSEA appears desirous of throwing the blame of the outrages near Canterbury from the Tory Magistrates on the Executive. The unfortunate madman, however, on whose release they found their insinuations, had been confintd in a lunatic asylum, not for any acts of violence, but for an act which some men in their senses commit—perjury. The case is quite di&rent from that of a conviction for an assault or for murder, when proofs of insanity given before the Court warrant the Crown in remitting the punishment, and confining the individual for life. We cannot presume that any Magistrates would be so wicked as to wink at acts of violence to bring disgrace upon a Government which they dislike ; but as far as facts are ascertained, Lord WINCIIILSEA shows more than even his usual indiscretion, by attempting to exculpate the Ma gistrates at the expence of the Government. The amount of the concession which Sir ROBERT PEEL is wiling to make to Ireland, was last night ascertained. The experience of England has taught him that municipal Reform is not so terrible to the Tories as it was painted. Many of the small towns, and some of the larger ones, are almost as much under their influence now, as when the Corporations were merely nesfs of jobbery and corruption. He is lass anxious to oppose Cor poration Reform in Ireland ; therefore, provided he can get such a franchise as will still retain the power in the hands of a narrow minority. It is well known, that in the majority of cases the Catholics constitute the poor, and the Protestants the opulent portions of the Irish. Sir ROBERT therefore if he could have a 101. franchise, determined by being rated to the poor on that value, would be sure to pre serve something like a preponderance of his old Orange friends in the corporations. This poor concession is all lie will make. The Irish Members and the .Ministers strcnously resisted his proposition, and on a division he was defeated by twenty-six. Lord JoHN RUSSELL ex plained that he was willing so far to concede to Sir Ro- BERT as to admit the test of ,;he rating, but he insisted that the franchise should be fixed at 5/. His proposition was carried. But Sir ROBERT PEEL, neglecting all further improvement in the Bill, is again to try his for tune with this amendment on the report. As we cannot possibly anticipate that he will be suc cessful, and as we are quite sure that if he he not, the Lords will insert that qualification, which the Commons will not accept, we have come at once to the conclusion that nothing of importance will be done this Session. The sudden and burning love of peace with which the Standard has been infected will not be gratified. The wiles of its party have not succeeded, and it may re commence its furious denunciations of the Whigs and of the Catholics, and revive its ribbon plots, as soon as it can again change with any regard to decency. The further particulars which we have received of the riots near Canterbury confirm the view we yesterday took of the gross ignorance of the peasantry. The rued Mr. CounTENav gave himself out not only as " a Political but also as a Religious Reformer" : s " He blasphemously styled himself," says the Reporter of the Times, " the Saviour of the world, and to convince his followers that he was so, he pointed to. certain punctures in his hands as those inflicted by the nails of the cross, and to a cicatrice in his side as the wound out of which issued blood and water. He also represented himself as invulnerable to steel and shot, and so completely has he de. laded numbers into the belief in his monstrous lies that they even now fancy that though lie appears dead, he will rise a g ain on the third day, and lead his followers on to victory."—" A woman of the name of Culver was told by this impostor that if she g ot some water and placed it in his mouth,in case he was shot he would shortly revive. On hear ing of his death, the woman filled a vessel of water, walked out with it, and in compliance with his instructions placed it on his The success of this madman in inducing a number of ig norant but brave men to follow and believe in him, was owing to his appeals to hunger and fanaticism. He pro mised them good living, and he ratified his promises by as suring them of his divinity. Any change, when men are very miserable, is expected to be an improvement, and his followers, like those of JOHANNA SOUTHCOTE, seemed to have regarded him as another Messiah. The cure fur the disease of the deluded people must be supplied by the school master, not by the hangman. It is a case for the clergyman, if he beenlightened and intelligent, notfor the magistrate ; but if he mix the two characters, and send out warrants against those whom he has neglected to instruct, and read the Riot Act to give them information—if he order the poor wretches whom his imperfect teaching has helped into the delusion to be shot, or consign them to a dungeon for trial— he will appear to reflecting men more guilty than the vic tims of his neglect, and of Mr. COURTENAY'S madness. It was explicitly stated last night, by Lord JOAN Rus- SELL, in answer to questions put by Sir ROBERT PEEL, that he had received no intimation from the Magistrates in the neighbourhood that the madman was agitating the public on any subject. They must, in fact, have been wholly ignorant of his proceedings, or they would deserve a much more severe reprehension than a charge of gross neglect, for sending an unarmed constable with two followers to arrest him. In truth, they appear like the Authorities amongst the French Canadians to be quite unacquainted with the people placed under their charge ; who are suffered to remain in the most gross ignorance, and, are allowed unchecked, uninformed, to congregate in masses, to commit breaches of the law, to look on while their leader coolly and brutally perpetrates a mur der, and then only are they instructed by the bayonets and bullets of the soldiery, that they have been deluded into a great crime. If the Magistrates were aware that Mr. Corsa- TENAv was a dangerous individual, how will they answer for their conduct in allowing an armed maniac with a hundred followers to traverse the country for three days, seducing the peaceful labourer from his work, raising contributions on innkeepers, and putting the whole district in a state of the greatest excitement ? It appears that the party set out on Monday morning, and continued their operations unmolested till Wednesday, and that no effectual steps were taken to stop their dangerous proceedings till Thursday. Was Lord JOHN RUSSELL to blame for this, or the Magistrates of .the neighbourhood? Amongst those are several clergymen, and we charge them with neglect, both as clergymen, for not having better instructed their flocks, and as magistrates, for not having known of Mr. COURTENAY'S proceedings, and wills not having prevented the calamitous results. The gross ignorance of Lord WlNcrittsEA's and Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL'S fine peasantry, the proofs of which have now been so painfully impressed on the public, de serves consideration in another point of view. Has the reader ever been at the cathedral Cityof Canterbury? Has he ever mounted one of its spires, or any of the eminences about it, and attempted to count the Churches that rise on all sides, and that in the city itself are almost as numerous as the lofty and respectable houses? The scene is just such a one as COBBETT has described, and would at all times have delighted histruly-English heart. There is aheautifulrniwture of hill and dale, gentle and clear streams, hop gardens, and orchards, waving corn-fields, and velvet meadows ; and it forms altogether as lovely a picture of a peace ful,prosperous, and fertile laod as ever gladdened the eye. It is divided into numerous parishes, and is studded with gentlemen's villas, and the low but massive churches of our Saxon an cestors. Never did the clergy fix their staff in an unfruit ful spot, and perhaps Canterbury and its neighbourhood i s as fertile and pleasant a seat as even the Clergy' ever chose. All the country round is redolent of the Church. But now we are astounded to learn that in the midst of all these Churches, and all this fertility, there dwells a race of peasantry so poor that the mere prospect of a good meal tempts them into the commission of outrage, and so ignorant that the ravings of a known lunatic are believed and adopted like the Gospel itself. More asto nishing still to us it is to learn that the Clergymen—Ma gistrates who are in both ca p ac i t i es b ound to b e acquainted with their congregations,their tenants,seryants, and labourers, and who are bound to watch over and guide their proceedings, were uninformed of what was goingon,and neither sent infor mation to the Home Secretary, nor took any other means to prevent the certain consequence s of men following an armed madman, till the murder of the constable's attendant created public consternation. Such circumstances as these cause reflections by no means favourable to the country Magistracy and to the Clergy. In another place will be found all the further details of this unhappy affair, which have reached the metropolis this day. The Coroner's inquest has brought in a verdict of wilful murder against COURTENAY and his followers, several of whom have been committed to gaol. Looking at the interest which we have taken in the question of the renewal of the Bank of Ireland charter, and recollecting the exertions which we have made to arouse public attention to the evils resulting from so absurd and pernicious a mono poly, it affords us extrema pleasure to quote the following excellent observations from the City article of the Times of yesterday, where the subject will be found treated in a spirit at once liberal and enlightened, and which must place the Irish people of all sects and parties (for all, in a great de gree, are sufferers from the system), under a heavy obliga tion to our Contemporary for having, in this case, cast aside all factious considerations, and avowed itself the advocate of a meassure which would confer important benefits upon Ireland : " People arc anxiously waiting for some definite information respecting the proceedings of the Committee on Joint Stock Banks, and more particularly with reference to the renewal of the Bank of Ire land charter. It is known that a deputation from Drogheda have had several interviews with Mr. Spring Rice far the purpose of remonstrat ing against the renewal; and, if public report may be credited, these gentlemen have succeeded to some extent in the' object of their mission, and have obtained a pledge from the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the exclusive privileges of the bank for issuing notes, which at present extends to a circuit of fitly miles round Dublin, shall in the forth coming charter be restricted to that place and five miles round it. With respect to a monopoly weighing so prejudicially upon Dub lin above all, it would appear that the absence of any ener getic representations from thence may be accounted for from the sensitive apprehensions of the trading and other classes lest any steps taken by them against the Bank might be visited upon them, to the prejudice, if not ruin, of their credit, by the agents of that establish ment, in whose power more or less so large a portion cf them are en thralled. This explanation will be perfectly intelligible to all who are aware how similar feelings are known to actuate so infinitely more powerful a community of traders and capitalists here towards the Bank of England. " There seems no sufficient cause why Dublin and its vicinity should continue subject to a monopoly from which Droghedl and other places are, or arc 'to be, exempt. The debt of 2,500,0001. due by Go vernment to the Bank of Ireland is no valid ground for the re. newal of the charter in whole or in part which has expired. The Bank reaps more than an adequate advantage from that employment of its capital in the shape of 4 per cent. interest, whilst Government could easily raise the amount necessary in the market at any moment at :Si per cent., or less, and pay otf the debt. It is apprehended, bov..ever, that no opposition will be offered in the Joint Stock Bank Committee to the intended renewal by the Govern ment, since there but one Irish Member on that Committee at all conversant with the subject of banking, and he a leading member of a Joint. Stock Bask in Ireland, understood to be under certain obligations to the Bank of Ireland during a late crisis, upon an understanding that the renewal of the bank charter was not to be opposed by him. All this, if it is not justtce, will be at least consistent with the whole financial policy of Mr. Spring Rice It is a course of patching and expedients, without one manly or statesmanlike view of the subject." It certainly would speak badly for the activity and inde pendence of the mercantile classes of Dublin, that not single petition has, up to the present hour, been forwarded from that locality, remonstratingagainst the renewal of a char ter from the operation of which they suffer so severely, were it not notorious, as the writer in the Times accurately states, that the moneyautocrats of College-green exercise a despotic influence over the majority of the Dublin traders. The accommodation of the Bank of Ireland has always been capriciously afforded, and there are very few persons in trade who would have the hardihood to rake the standard of apposition against an establishment which could employ many means of inconveniencing, perhaps utterly destroying, them. However, when we make this apology for the people of Dublin, we must, in truth, observe that they have dis played a reprehensible apathy, for not only have there been no meetings or petitions upon the subject, but even the Press, with one solitary exception (we allude to the Dublin Pilot, which first grappled with the abuse, and has since ably continued to expose its evils), has maintained a remark able, and, we might add, a culpable taciturnity regarding it. A comparatively insignificant deputation from Drogheda, having a just cause, and sustained by ourselves and sonic of our Contemporaries, have, by their mere visit to Down ing -street, in company with three or four Irish Members of Parliament, persuaded the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER to listen to reason, and, in future, confine the monopoly to the city and environs of Dublin. Should not this face tend to awaken the citizens of Dublin from their lethargy, and teach them what is to be attained by an ordi nary display of energy ? The trade of the Irish metropolis is daily decreasing, notwithstanding that it can boast of many peculiar local advantages calculated to advance corn ineremi prosperity. Its remnant of manufacture is fast ex piring, although, having a hardy, numerous, and industrious population, it is well suited for the establishment of manu factures ; but it requires banking accommodation, such as' Manchester, Liverpool, and Glasgow enjoy, and therefore even wealthy capitalists will pause before they embark their money in a place where they will be under the controul of such an establishment as the Bank of Ireland. It will be hardly believed that the Bank of Ireland refuses to take Bank of England notes in payment of bills but at an enor mous premium or discount—so that a case might occur where a manufacturer might have 20 0 0 0 / . of Bank of England notes in his coffers and yet be unable to pay his workmen their weekly wages. What a pretty tempta tion this is for embarking capital in the Irish metropolis! Let the people of Dublin come forward with petitions : their Representative, Mr. O'CONNELL, whom we know to be ardently opposed to the perpetuation of the Bank of Ireland charter, is placed in a position peculiarly favourable for procuring them justice, and they will yet induce the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to give them free trade in banking. Lord LIVERPOOL told the Bank of England proprietary, when their charter was last renewed, " that such monopolies had gone out of fashion." Should the citizens of Dublin but do their duty, Mr. SPRING RICE will be compelled to give the same un palateable information to the Directors of the Bank o Ireland. The whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday have been roceived. The /ifonitcur contains the following telegra phic dispatch from Spain : " BAYONNE, MAY 30, lIALF-PAST S.—Yesterday General O'DONNELL occupied Vera and Lesaca without resistance and without excesses tak ing place." A letter from Bayonne of the 28th ult. states, that dis cord continues to rage among the Carlists. The disturban ces at Onate and Villabona, in spite of the attempts at ex tenuating them, have been more serious than was at first thought. Don Carlos has been compelled to give some satisfaction to the Basque troops by ordering all Castilians, and other strangers, to arm and form themselves in battalions under penalty of receiving no more rations. The Basque troops are not satisfied with this ; they insist upon clearing the country north of the Ebro of all strangers. The same letter goes on to assert, that the country pants for peace, being absolutely exhausted. All this is denied by the Carlist organs, but we have scarcely a doubt of its correctness. The Budget of the Minister of the Interior was voted on Wednesday in the Chamber of Deputies, after an animated debate on the question of Foundling Asylums. The opposition succeeded in effecting various reductions in several of the items as originally proposed by M. Montalivet. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, MAY 31. LATEST PRICES. Five per Cents. 109 f. 55c.

The Chisholm has resigned his seat in Parliament. As a successor to Chisholm, the Master of Grant (eldest son of the Hon. Colonel Grant, of Grant, M.P.) has come forward to solicit the suMages of the electors. All we have heard of this young gentleman is highly to his honour, but he is utterly without experience of public measures and public men. He knows nothing of the local interests of Inverness.shire, and We feel strongly, that before soliciting such a trust, there should be some previous preparation. Let the Master of Grant attend our county meetings for a few years—let him mingle with our agriculturists and merchants—let him observe how our commerce and fisheries may be extended—and what are the true wants, Wishes, and interests of the electors, and we readily admit that a better or more amiable representative could not be found. But why should the extensive county of Inverness be transferred from one hand to another, as a sort of theatre in which young gentlemen may try whether they are fitted for discharging the duties of a Member of Parliament ? Are we to have the excitement of another election, merely to disappoint again the hopes and expectations of the electors ? In the meantime, we trust the constituency will pause before finally committing themselves in a matter of such importance. We are authorised to insert the following : " It has been industriously circulated that the Master Grant will not be opposed on the present occasion as a Candidate for the representation of the County. We can assure the Electors, that a Liberal Candidate will immediately address them. The keenness with which the can vass is carried on by the opposite party shows that they are far from being confident of success. It is hoped the electors will riot be deceived by she reports alluded to, but will reserve their votes until the opponent of the Mester of Grant announce himself" The writ arrived here on Monday, and Sheriff Tytler hes fixed the following days for the election :—Nomination at Inverness, Tuesday the 12th of June. Polling at the different stations on Thursday and Fri day, the 1-ith and 15th. It is rumoured in town that if Mr. Grant of Glenmorriston does net again rome forw..rd, Mr. Ila Tie, rf Kinguissio an:: Gl,n;: , !g, (who fc,r., merly represented the city of Bristol on the Liberal interest) will solicit the suffrages of the electors, ELECTION COMMITTE,S, THIS DAY.
